Another really weird interview. He cut this one off abruptly. Kudos to the reporter for persistence.
It was proven Trump was under surveillance. Because he said "wiretap" instead of "under surveillance"?
What's your point?

So true, don't forget,

- blame Obama/media/constitution/Dems/etc....
- use smoke and mirrors and spin to justify/explain...
- nuke another country or make up more outrageous lies to deflect....

too often TV gives members of gov a free advert allowing them to talk endlessly , lie endlessly and promote themselves rather than actually ask questions.

this reporter did his job. "he persisted" and that is what we need today and everyday. Reporters who stick on the question.
Trump doesn't like that kind of reporter. He likes to tell his lies and move on.

I understand Trump has his opinons...but this was a really weird response. I wish he would just address these things without getting super vague and combative. It would really help win him support.

He can't address the issues because he doesn't understand the issues. All he has are vague allegations based on something he heard on TV.

The only way he can address these things without being vague and combative is to admit that he is full of s###. That won't gain him any support. Continuing to fight against the evil, liberal media will at least maintain a lot of his support.

Well - I mean, I know this.

I suppose my comment was a little rhetorical.

I think this reporter got lost when Trump started wandering (not physically wandering -- but in his answers)...and then I think it all went south.

I do think there is a stress toll beginning to show on the unflappable Trump.

I've found his last interviews to be confusing. When you read the transcripts it is a mess.

If he is, he's doing a damn good job!

I cannot agree more! We need more and more of this in order to deal the final blow to this corrupt man-child buffoon.
